Hi,

articleck:

I tried this out for you and it's clearly a rubbish service!

You have your base href set, and I see that you have just posted again to confirm that your site does indeed work perfectly well.

In this case it's the above tool that's broken.

<base href="http://www.magicwoodshed.com/cart/">

Nothing to worry about! Enjoy the new URIs! :)

All the best..

Hi
I have noticed that 70% of my customers that look at my site have the "zenid=qni9qpsv8spes9915q######1r6m6" after their url's (since I upgraded)even after the first page ..
Should I be concerned about this & Is there any way to help with this.I have searched but not had much help with it as all the threads are rather old that I found

thanks

Normally it's only the first page as no cookie will have been set yet.

The zenid is set by Zen Cart, Ceon URI Mapping has nothing to do with it.

Maybe there is something up with the cookie settings on your site?

(Having it does no harm, due to the software's canonical URI support, but it obviously doesn't look as nice, I'd not like to have that happen on our site).

All the best...

Yes, it does look ok... but google is caching all the pages without images. i.e. the file in google cache has all the bad links found by the websiteoptimiation tool.

e.g. http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?rlz=1C1AVSC_enGB443GB443&gcx=w&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8&q=cache%3Awww.magicwoodshed.com%2Fcart%2Fmusic-software%2Feffect-plugins%2Fautomation-effects%2Fstep-sequencer-effect-plugin

Searching for your domain name gives a link using URI mapping:

http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:KCDlXYJA5k0J:www.magicwoodshed.com/cart/music-software+magicwoodshed.com&cd=5&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=uk&lr=lang_fr|lang_en&client=firefox-a

Everything looks perfect.

There's nothing to fix here.

If you're still having issues please start a new thread as I don't think others here would be too interested in the specifics of this site! :)

All the best...

Conor, thanks for the most smoothly-installing mod I've ever had to deal with, i'm really looking forward to using it!!!!

Although it's the last step i'm having issues with - the example rewrite conditions of .htaccess

I've installed the 4.0.7 ceon uri mod, on zen cart 1.3.9h

I'm sure this has been answered before, but after hours of looking through threads I can't find the answer.

My cart is installed in the /home/jaimyec/www/bmb/zc2/ folder, my domain points directly to index.php in that folder.

The example rewrite rule part of installation check lists /home/jaimyec/www/bmb/zc2/.htaccess as the place to add the example rewrite lines, but this is the same folder that zen cart is installed.

When I have tried to add the example rewrite lines to my .htaccess file in the zc2 folder, i get an error when trying to access the site.

Should I put the lines in the htaccess of the /home folder and add the rest of the folder structure to each line or how should I work this?

If there's already a post or 2 on this I would appreciate a link... thanks

Thanks for the nice comments, I'm glad you appreciate the effort that went into making the software as smooth to install as possible (although it isn't as easy as I'd like due to the need for the core mods unfortunately).

The place it told you is the correct place, it always is.. it's quite a smart wee installation checker. ;)

You probably just need to add a slash to the front of index.php or else you have a conflict with some other rule on the site

If changing RewriteRule .* index.php to RewriteRule .* /index.php doesn't work get in contact here with FTP and admin details and I'll take a quick look.

All the best..

always? i'm given a directory of "D:/webpages/apo/.htaccess" to place the .htaccess file. according to my webhost, my website is in "D:/webpages/apogee-new" and he had to create an apo directory to install it, but i'm still getting 404 errors. it's been installed in D:/webpages, D:/webpages/apo and D:/webpages/apogee-new with no luck. we're both reading up on what could be going on.

Still unable to get it to work. :/

More details:

Server: IIS using ISAPI_Rewrite
.htaccess location on server (as per the "Example Rewrite Rule" instructions): /apo
website location on server: /apogee-new
website address (testing): http://www.bigd.net/apogee
ceon uri version: 4.0.7

Problem:

The mapping part of the software works great. I'm upon activation, clicking on a link brings me to the correctly MAPPED page and everything is super easy to use until i want to activate it. At that point, unfortunately, I'm having issues with the rewrite.

An entire morning, a cup of chai and a good hour on the phone with our webhost, i'm still getting 404 errors when/where mapping is enabled. I was getting a "recursive too deep" error on the homepage (http://www.bigd.net/apogee/index.php) but http://www.bigd.net/apogee loads just fine.

We've tried moving the .htaccess to the directory above /apo and /apogee-new, into /apogee-new, and even in the D:/ drive with no luck. it is currently in the /apo directory.

tried adding (and removing again) the slash before apogee/index.php in the last line.

:frusty:

there's obviously something i haven't tried or overlooked, but i'm not seeing it yet. thanks in advance.

Oh dear. Maybe not always then. Unless... are you using the latest 4.0.7? Creating a new directory is definitely the wrong way to go, the .htaccess file should be in the Zen Cart directory.. the "newly created" directory won't ever be used!

Anyway, just get in contact with FTP and admin details and I'll see if I can get things sorted, would be quicker than having a conversation here.

All the best...

Conor, the / worked. Thanks again for your time I should have tried it like your installation check said before but I was being very cautious to follow the directions.

I'm sure I will be making a purchase of the URI manager software soon, this is an invaluable software for zen cart users who are interested in getting the most out of the search engines.

Thanks again!!!!!!!:clap::clap::clap:

Really glad to hear that you that was all that was needed.. I like simple "fixes"! :)

Also glad to hear you really like the software, thanks for the nice feedback, it makes the time spent coding it feel that more worthwhile.

I hope it does indeed help your site do better!

All the best...

Hi Ceon
I am attempting to install the module and after following your instructions I have attempted to run the install in Modules Ceon URI Mapping (SEO) Config and I get this error
"Database table can not be created! The database user does not have CREATE TABLE privileges!"

I am using Zen Cart version 1.3.9h
This is a new install and this is the first module I am attempting to install. I have since Installed two other modules without any problems
The site is hosted with IINET as I am based in Australia and they use Apache with the rewrite module.
Your help would be appreciated.

Stephen

Hi Stephen,

stecrox:

I get this error
"Database table can not be created! The database user does not have CREATE TABLE privileges!"

Quite simply this error message is telling you that your Zen Cart database user appears to only have USAGE privileges for the database.

When this happens it often means that your MySQL server is broken. You should probably get it fixed.

Ceon URI Mapping has code built into it to get round a broken server such as yours.

Go back to the Ceon URI Mapping (SEO) Config page in admin - modules and append

?override-db-privileges-check=1

to the end of the address in the browser's URI bar and press return.

The database tables should then be created.

If not, then you'll need to adjust the privileges of your database user appropriately.

Hope you like the software, it took a huge amount of time to write.

All the best...

Thank you.
It appears to have resolved the issue.
I have just spoken to the Host Company who were also monitoring the forum.
They advised the issue is that they don't give admin rights but only Create / amend writes etc. As a result the check that was carried out in the code threw up the error.
Brilliant override and they say well done for answering so quickly.

Stephen

Hi Stephen

Glad you're sorted now.

Could you run the following SQL command and send me the results please:

SHOW GRANTS;

In 4.0.8 I may rewrite things to try and create the tables without checking the permissions first, for servers such as your which aren't configured "quite right".

Thanks,

I finally got round to upgrading to the latest version of uri mapping and everything works perfectly...even better than the previous version with the canonical support thrown in, so thanks Conor!

I use a variable in one of my other mods called $request_uri which contained the mapped path of the current page, for example 'Clothing/Jackets'.

This variable doesn't seem to be populated any more in the latest version.

Can you tell me where I can get the current mapped path name from?

Thanks!

No problem, glad you like it! And glad you're back on a supported version, 4.x is indeed much better as you've seen!

This variable doesn't seem to be populated any more in the latest version.

It is now an internal class property.

You don't need to use it though, you can just pull the information you want from $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'].

Hope that helps!

All the best...

Thanks Conor,
I ended up using preg_replace('/?.*$/', '', $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']) to get rid of the zenid from the querystring but it seems to work fine now :smile:
